These unusual bar-shaped, elongated pyrite crystals are a very rare occurrence for Naica, and have a beautiful and unique look to them amidst pyrites. THis is one of the larger specimens, I am told, and has "bars" to 5 cm. This specimen from the Dr Miguel Romero collection was on loan exhibition to the University of Arizona Museum for over a decade, until my purchase of this collection in 2008. It was on display in special cases at the museum, and has since been featured in the book "The Miguel Romero Collection of Mexico Minerals" which we sponsored as a special supplement book (published by the Mineralogical Record in December of 2008) .
